Trouble getting hold of melon seeds

[Anonymous]

Hello Charles and fellow gardeners
I have been looking for melon seeds of Sweetheart F1 and Minnesota Midget as recommended in your book to be most suitable for our climate (I live in London).
I am having problems getting hold of them. Which supplier do you use? Also are there any other types of melons that would be equally good to grow here that are perhaps more readily available?

Real Seeds tend to stock only varieties that do well in the UK. Oddly enough they have seeds for MM!!!!

And a lot of US seed companies have Minnesota Midget. I’ve used rareseeds.com before, they are very fast and reliable.

Good luck.
